Hi Henry, Thanks for your reply. I could imagine, Xalan team is presently tied up in closing bugs with Xalan-J 2.7.0, therefore you'll take up XSLT 2.0 development at a later date.
Actually, as a learning exercise, I have been trying to develop my own XSLT 2.0 processor, using Java. I have already written some code for the XSLT part (not much really). But I was facing problems writing the XPath 2.0 expression parser. I got confused, which parsing technique I should use (Recursive descent, LL, LR, LALR etc.). Then I found, that Xalan team has already written a XPath 2.0 parser using Javacc (please see my other thread "Trying to produce XPath 2.0 parser"). I decided to reuse the whole of the Xalan XPath 2.0 parser in my XSLT engine. But if Xalan team would be taking up XSLT 2.0 development in future, I can focus my efforts to contribute to the Xalan product. On 8/23/06, Henry Zongaro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Some prototype work for XSLT 2.0 support in the Xalan-J Interpretive processor went on in 2003, but then trailed off. That prototype work is still available on the xslt20 branch <http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/xalan/java/branches/xslt20/>, but since then nobdy has stepped forward to carry on that initial prototyping, and the Xalan PMC hasn't put in place any plans for XSLT 2.0 support.
